Comic authors have built comic strips that feed on academic knowledge and demonstrate that Spain has been part of the American reality since long before the very foundation of the American country, This Spanish energy continues to be present in the imagination, talent, and creativity that emanates from everything Spanish and so fascinates Americans. Commissioned by the Cultural Office of the Embassy of Spain and curated by award-winning writer Ana Merino, this project aims at taking a better look at seven potential sides of the inspiring Spanish presence resulting in comic books of very diverse inspiration.

Michael Francis (Missions and the Camino Real), Juan Pimentel (Science), Eduardo Garriegues (Revolutionary War), James Fernandez & Luis Argeo (Immigration), and María Dolores Jiménez-Blanco (Art).
